title: Respiratory arrest following ingestion of wild mushrooms in 3 dogs (2006-2011).
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the clinical course, treatment, and outcome of 3 dogs with respiratory arrest following mushroom ingestion.
  
  
  METHODS
  Three dogs were presented for mushroom toxicosis that developed respiratory arrest. Two of the dogs were treated with diazepam just prior to the development of respiratory arrest; 1 dog received no medications prior to respiratory arrest. Of the 3 dogs, 1 was euthanized and the remaining 2 recovered fully with assisted and mechanical ventilation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This is the first documentation of respiratory arrest associated with mushroom toxicosis in dogs.
